With the recent (and highly-publicised) run of flaws in Internet Explorer (IE) resulting in bodies such as US-CERT advising users to consider switching to an alternative browser, the browser marketplace has been opened up again, leading to IE&#8217;s market share slipping and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/products\/firefox\/\">the Mozilla website<\/a> reporting 3,592,687 million downloads of the Firefox preview release as I write this (1.3 million of which were in the first week).<\/p>\n<p>So why is Firefox so great? Well, for a start it&#8217;s fast. It takes about the same time as IE to launch, but seems about 4 times faster to render popular websites (e.g. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/\">BBC<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/\">The Register<\/a>). Previously, I had thought it was my connection that was slow &#8211; not my browser! One of the major features is tabbed browsing &#8211; I wasn&#8217;t convinced as to the difference between multiple tabs in a single browser and multiple copies of a browser, but it just seems easier to work with! Installation is easy too &#8211; it&#8217;s compact (at 4.5Mb) and even imports my IE settings. Like the latest IE version, it has an integrated popup blocker; but it also includes integrated search tools for Google, Yahoo and others in its toolbar. It just seems more elegant.<\/p>\n<p>Actually (much to my own surprise) I&#8217;m becoming a bit of an open source fan. I use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.feedreader.com\/\">FeedReader<\/a> as my RSS aggregator and now Firefox is my browser of choice. I&#8217;ll probably start looking at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/products\/thunderbird\/\">Mozilla Thunderbird<\/a> e-mail client too.<\/p>\n<p>Internet Explorer is not dead &#8211; it still holds more than 90% of the market, but as Firefox rises in popularity, perhaps Microsoft will look seriously at a full redesign, including a host of new features? We can but hope.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spreadfirefox.com\/?q=affiliates&amp;id=22709&amp;t=64\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/images\/getfirefox.gif?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" title=\"Get Firefox!\" alt=\"Get Firefox!\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Coles showed me the Firefox browser last week and ever since then I&#8217;ve been hooked!
